Pottery: Open Studio: July 2025 (previous pottery experience required!)
Open Studio is recommended for those who are familiar with the ceramic process, don’t need hands-on instruction, and feel confident working independently on their own pieces. A monitor will be available for technical assistance, but this is self-directed, private work time in our well-equipped ceramics studio. Firing and glazing is included with each clay purchase. Clay is $20 for a 25lb bag. You can purchase at the front desk before the start of class.
**Time in the studio is $20 per hour.** You may sign up for one or both hours.
Participants must complete the Beginning Pottery course or demonstrate proficiency with Clay Studio Manager to have use of the pottery wheels. Open Studio welcomes those with previous ceramic experience to share our space, equipment, and materials to create with clay. Students are not permitted to bring in pottery they have created outside of the studio.
